ShareDoc’s new partner Beyond Premieres
Gunjan Menon founder Beyond Premieres explains why ShareDoc is a good match:
We’re thrilled to welcome ShareDoc into the Beyond Premieres partner family because we share a bold vision: transforming documentary storytelling into real-world change. ShareDoc brings viewers from passive witnesses to active participants. Our mission with Beyond Premieres is to amplify the societal impact of films beyond awards and box office. We support documentaries that not only inform but also invite involvement, then follow up with alignment tools and partner networks to ensure tangible outcomes.
ShareDoc bridges that gap seamlessly by embedding impact pathways directly in the viewer journey, empowering not just storytelling but also story-driven action.
Thanks to ShareDoc’s unique capacity to connect films, protagonists, and viewers in a unified impact ecosystem, we can help our partners have one more support to measure change and support their protagonists directly.
What drove you to work with films in the first place and start building Beyond Premieres?
My journey began with a profound recognition that while films can shine a spotlight on urgent issues, many stop short of delivering concrete outcomes. After working closely with filmmakers and conservationists, I saw firsthand a critical disconnect. Passionate storytellers lacked the distribution channels to turn awareness into action, and grassroots organisations struggled to leverage narrative power to advance their missions.
That realisation sparked what Beyond Premieres has become today: a “conservation matchmaking” platform that bridges filmmakers and frontline organisations, ensuring cinematic art catalyses real-world change. We help creators embed impact into every frame — designing outreach efforts, educational partnerships, capacity-building programs, and even influencing policy and legal avenues. We support them in building enduring strategic campaigns to amplify the transformative power of storytelling.
Beyond Premieres arose from a dual passion for storytelling that matters and for outcomes that are tangible and endure. Due to the state of the planet, we need all forces to act together, all industries to work together. We believe it’s time for films to push viewers beyond the credits and into the heart of transformation, whether that's protecting biodiversity, advocating for legal reform, or empowering communities. That’s why we built Beyond Premieres: to go one step "beyond premieres" and turn art into action.
Collaborating now with ShareDoc is the next logical step: together, we ensure the story's energy leaps off screen and transforms lives.
